TLDR
A September 12 tech-news roundup says Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for slower frontier AI development and pledged permanent third-party evaluator access, with OpenAI saying it would match the commitment. A separate September 14 post calls for a congressional investigation, alleging that METR—described as Amodei’s proposed evaluator—depends on funding tied to Anthropic stock held by Good Ventures Foundation. The critic argues that this financial dependence undermines METR’s independence.
